TOOK A DROP,
The Flour Output Falls Off Owing
to Low Water.


The Northwestern Miller in its issue
of to-day will say: As result of the
extremely low water of last week, the
flour output fell off to some extent, but
still was comparatively large. The total
product for the week ending Dec. IL
was $4,000 Understanding 1888
barrels daily-againSt $50, 500 barrels the
previous week, and 120,100 barrels for
the corresponding time in 1886. The
weather remains comparatively open
and mild, and the water power seems to
be not without some Improvement.
This has enabled the water mills to run
better. and with those possessing steam
driving along at strong gait, the out
put is likely to show an increase the cur
rent week. There were fourteen mills
running to-day, eight of which were
being driven by steam. A mill OF LOCO
barrels capacity closes down Saturday
for month. to make repairs, but others
idle for some time past are expected to
begin work soon after. Christmas COM
ing on Sunday, few if any of the mills
will observe either Saturday or Monday
as holiday. The domestic flour market
is quiet, feature characteristic of the
trade Just previous to the holidays.
Several firms are wholly out of the
market as a result of temporarily being
nOn-producers of flour, and the others
look for light business until after Jan.
l. The export trade has been small, but
is improving, with an advance of 5(GSc
over Mondays bids. The exports last
week were 10000 barrels, against 45,55O
the preceding week.

MIR. EAsTMAN's PROPOSITION.
He at Last Withdraws TIA Small
Sized Row.

There was pleasant little seance in
the council chamber yesterday morning
when w. w. Eastman and his attorney.
E. C. Chatfeld, and Aid. L'Herault and
Hanscom met to consider Mr.. EaStman's
proposition in regard to making boule-
ward around NicOllet island. Mr.. Chat
field wanted action on the proposition
deferred, as Mr.. Eastman was going
away, to be absent for some time. In
case it was allowed to rest the PROPOSE
ton would be withdrawn. He added
that Mr.. Eastman had decided to with
draw his proposition STIMULATING that the
property claimed by him be exempt from
taxation until improved. Aid.
L'Herault wanted immediate ac-
ton taken. This aroused f. c..
Griswold, an interested property
owner, who said he was surprised to see
Mr.. L'Herault treat such an important
matter so lightly. One word lead to
another, and finally MIR. GriSwold leaned
over toward Aid, l. Herault and howled:
"You go and claim you know more
about this matter than the city attorney.
Why, sir, you do not know enough to
carry entrailS to bear" L'Herault
retorted that Mr.. GriswOld did not know
what he was talking about, and the row
came to an end. The aldermen could
not agree upon what to do in regard to
the proposition, and it was accordingly
withdrawn.

COMING TO A FOCUS.
Fixing the Grade For the Lowered
I'll, & ID. Tracks.

The aldermen of the Seventh, Eighth,
Twelfth and Thirteenth wards met at
the city hall yesterday, in company
with several citizens from the various
wards, and after electing Aid. Gibson
chairman, discussed the question of
lowering the H. q d. tracks. A COM
mittee from the Seventh ward presented
a petition asking that the council apprO-
pirate $4,000 and lower the tracks, pro-
viding such lowering could be done so
as to have the bridge made necessary
cross the tracks at the regulation street
grade. This proposition was discussed
in all its bearings by City Engineer
Rinker. Engineer Rhane, of the C., NJ.
d st. p. road, and others. The question
of grade proved weary one, and the
committee talked in reference to it until
after O'Clock. 1t was finally decided
to have the tracks lowered as follows:
Fort avenue track grade-BlOOming-
ton avenue, twenty-One feet below
track; Chicago avenue, twenty feet
below track; NicOllet avenue, twenty
feet below track; Pleasant avenue,
twenty feet below grade of track; Hen
nepin avenue, fourteen feet below grade
of track.
In accepting the proposition of the
railroad company, the provision was IN
serted that the company should build
four bridges the first year and three the
second wear,

His FayOrite Role

John Gaffney, the famous express
man, has been doing some heavy work
in the past few days in his favOrite role
of defending unprotected females. A
young maiden with an unprOnOuncable
name and tears in her eyes ap-
preached Mr.. Gaffney and related the
following heart-rending tale: She had
been employed by DIR. Brindley. on
Hennepin avenue, but not liking the
situation retired before her week was
up, and forthwith to get even with this
interference of his domestic comfort,
the son of Esculpius seized the maiden'S
trunk and charged her storage on the
same. When the storage had reached 81 .55
Gaffney was appealed tie and promptly
sprung to the rescue. Rebuffed by the
doctor, he hied TO justice, and armed
with an enormous legal document, in
three days time succeeded i'll replevying
the girls trunk. That innocent maiden
is, however, considerably mixed up now
as to the benefits accruing from the as
sistance of Gaffney, as that individual,
with one of his magnanamOus smiles,
served her with SO bill for his able
legal assistance.

THE THEATERS.

The National Opera company will ar
rive in the city this morning and the
season of four performances will COM
mence tonight with Rubinstein's
glorious opera OF Nero" as the bill.
The great spectacular and orchestral
effects in the opera have been spoken
of and with McGuckin, Juch,
Ludwig and others in the
cast cannot help but prove an
a success. The house is practically
sold out for the performance, and the
house tonight will contain one of the
most representative audiences ever put
in a theater. Friday Faust will be
sung with Amanda Fabris as Marguerite
and Charless Bassett as Faust. The
grand bacchanal ballet will be intro
duced. Large parties are expected over
from st. Paul. Saturday Emma Juch,
in her great role of Elsa in ''LOhengrin,
will appear in the opera of that name,
as will also Burton McGuckin. Satur-
day matinee Queen of Sheba will be
presented.
The performance tonight will COM
mence at s p. III.
A great many inquiries are being
made at the Grand box office in regard
to the BOstonian engagement at the
Grand. The advance sale opens at the
managers office of the Grand tomorrow
morning at 8 o'clock. The BOstOnians
are Minneapolis favorite artists, and
the personnel includes Marie Stone, Ag-
mes Huntington, Juliette COrden, Cam
lille Muori, Tom Karl, Ii. c. Barnabee,
w. Ii. Macdonald. George rockingham,
F. A. Xanten, F. w. Miller and j. A.
Montgomery. The repertory for this
city includes 1.-THE Poachers," Fra
DiavOlo." "Fatinitza," ''Fanchlonette,"
Bohemian Girl
1.-THE Planters Wife, or Caught in the
Tolls" will be the bill at the Pence this
evening, being its first presentation.
The Pence has played steadily to good
business all the week, its cheap prices
never failing to catch the theater-gOerS.
Edwin L. Thorne and Miss Rose Har-
riSon, supported by the Peoples stock
played to good houses throughout the
week at this popular theater. The play
is an excellent one, and will run the re-
mainder of the week with special mat
inee Saturday, when the prices will be
10, 20 and 80 cents. One of the most in
tereSting events of the coming week
will be the revival of Harriet Beecher
Stoves immortal play, Uncle Toms
Cabin" AS the management have
taken such great pains to make
this production complete sue
cess, and as the principal characters
are to be presented by artists who have
never been seen in these parts before,
the event has almost the character of
novelty, and is endowed with particular
interest. 1t is fact decidedly worthy
of note that business at the Peoples
theater has been on the increase ever
since its opening last October. Big
houses have been the rule rather than
the exception, and, taken altogether,
the results have proved gratifying in
the extreme to the management. One
of the potent causes for this has been
the good attractions presented.

Small Collision,

About l o'clock yesterday afternoon a
motor train and snow pillow OH the
Hastings & Dakota road cOllided at the
Twenty-ninth street crossing. The law
requires trains on both tracks to stop
before making the crossing, and this
was done in this case. The motor train
had just gotten under way when the
snow pillow charged into it, knocking the
engine from the track and partially
wrecking it. The passenger coaches
were untouched, but the escape was a
narrow one. The motor people lay the
blame on the Hastings u Dakota
officials
